Jolly Roger

The making
of Jolly
Roger was a very enjoyable experience for me. I've wanted to
set a short film on the sea for ages; in fact the image of a huge,
solid blue sea, with a tiny ship lost in its centre first appeared
in two unrealized projects before I started working on the script
for this film. I wanted to keep the dialogue to an absolute minimum
-- almost the only words spoken are commands. The three main characters
in the film are used to issuing orders and getting their own way;
but in the middle of a vast ocean, orders only mean anything if
you've got a ship....-- Mark
